Let everything that has breath praise the Lord

“Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.” - Psalms 150v6

What a fitting conclusion to the Psalter. All of God’s creation praises Him. His creation shouts out of His glory in its majesty and beauty. The heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament shows His handiwork.

Verse two gives us the reasons why God is worthy of praise – His mighty acts and His excellent greatness. God is worthy of praise because of what He does and who He is. Everything about the Lord deserves praise and His creation does so.

We as His children are the major recipients of His greatness and His marvellous works. If anyone or anything should praise the Lord it is us. The final phrase of the Psalms is a simple expression – Praise the Lord! Let us never forget that He is ALWAYS worthy of our praise – for who He is and what He does.
